STUDENTS’ ATTITUDES ABOUT MORAL VALUES IN PHYSICAL CULTURE
STUDENTS’ ATTITUDES ABOUT MORAL VALUES IN PHYSICAL CULTURE

Summary/Abstract: A relationship between Ethics as a philosophical discipline and Physical Culture as a scientific discipline was considered in the first part of the paper. Two theories of Ethics which are of significance for the study of morality were presented in the qualitative research approach – Utilitarianism and Deontological Ethics. The results of the empirical research of the students‟ attitudes about certain moral values in physical culture were presented in the second part of the paper. The students‟ attitudes about moral issues in physical culture were examined with the aid of a basic research hypothesis, the attitudes being the product of educational content and pedagogical influences, with regard to: the level of studies and gender of the respondents. The results are in favor of confirming the hypothesis on different moral attitudes depending on the age and gender of the respondents. Further qualitative and quantitative approaches are necessary for a more thorough profiling of moral attitudes in physical culture, with regard to relevant ethical theories.
